imo unique is great and all but its an ultimate fail when you try and go different and end up with shitty fitment.
just get some te37's and call it a day
yeah I'll pass. it looks like the bimmer wheels are 18x9 +32. I'm thinking about buying one wheel and seeing how that fits, and I may do conversion spacers to make it less offset. I did photoshop of them, I'll post it in a second.
x2. you want wide wheels but yet you aren't willing to do a quick google search to tell you what bmw offsets will be? You need to do some more research on how offsets and widths work so that you can actually figure this stuff out and not end up buying wheels that'll give you mexi-poke and look terrible. Do you know what offsets will even work on stock fenders compared to pulled/widened fenders?

i have a general idea of how width and offset works. i know with stock fenders I couldn't fit my 235/40/17. despite how wide the wheels were that allows me to know what tire i'm able to fit. With a rolled front/pulled rear as I'm planning to do 9 inch wide with anything between +20-30 offset won't be difficult to fit. But I want more than that, I'm basically looking for 9.5" wide, with something around the 20s offset wise. My brakes are small, so it will clear them fine. Not to mention my buddy is one of the best fender workers I know.
But I'm not trying to act like I know what I'm doing, I don't. Just lookin' for some advice. I may go with the diamond racing wheels.
Just say no to diamond racing then IMO. They're not made for street use by the way. While judging a wheel size off a tire size that didn't fit isn't really the best way to figure it out, it's a start.
I think I've got it saved on my computer but there's a bmw wheel page, that has photos of every OEM wheel made with their offset and size broken down by series. Extremely handy if you're interested in OEM wheels. I'll see if I can dig it up for you tomorrow. There's no use in finding a cool wheel you like only to see it doesn't fit properly
given that you want oem Porsche or BMW wheels (5x130, 5x120 respectively), i dont think it would have mattered if your wrx was 5x114.3. H&R makes 5x130 spacers for 5x100 vws which I'm imagine you could use, although the hub bores would be totally off.

Really? but I've seen a few cars running them every day. I was actually leaning more towards DRW, because they have a fat lip with a concave face, which is one of my favorite looks.

Yeah, I'm not too sure what I want to do now. I set up an account on Vortex and I see that they have ALOT of wheels and alot of adapters for 5x100 haha. I kinda want these for shits and giggles right now.
